THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE VERTIGO SPACESHIP LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. NOT ONE MARK ON THEM, AND THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
ALL OF THE TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE UNRUBBED AND ARE ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THERE IS JUST ONE SPIDER LINE NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE SOME WISPY HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF FINE HANDLING LINES TO BE SEEN
PLAYING THE RECORD
I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.
I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB
AN ABSOLUTELY CLEAN AND CLEAR AUDIO PERFORMANCE THAT HAS ABSOLUTELY NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
NO VINYL NOISE AT ALL ANYWHERE, NOT EVEN ANY EVIDENCE OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND , AND I HEARD NO MORE THAN THREE TINY LITTLE DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS DISC MINT minus !!!!!
DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND 100% FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR, AND THE ONLY AREA WHERE THERE IS ANY SHELF WEAR ARE THE FOUR CORNER TIPS WHICH ARE LIGHTLY RUBBED WITH THE TOP RIGHT ONE A LITTLE NICKED AS WELL
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND THE MAIN BODY OF THE SLEEVE IS IMMACULATE. THERE ARE THREE SMALL LAMINATE LINES RUNNING INTO THE SPINE, AND A COUPLE OF NEAR INVISIBLE ONES ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, AND ONE BARELY VISIBLE THUMB LINE NEAR THE SPINE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES AMAZINGLY ARE TOTALLY UNWORN, APART FROM THE TINIEST SPECK OF RUB TO EACH OF THE CORNER TIPS AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND ONCE AGAIN IT.S JUST THE TIP ENDS THAT ARE SHOWING WHITE THROUGH THE LAMINATE WHERE THEY HAVE RUBBED
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND IT IS SO CLEAR THAT THE LP JUST HASN'T BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE VERY OFTEN IN THE 39 YEARS SINCE IT WAS RELEASED.THERE IS ONE THUMB NAIL NICK TO THE FRONT EDGE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN EVEN BETTER CONDITION THAN THE FRONT, WITH JUST ONE TINY LITTLE LAMINATE LINE NEAR THE SPINE, AND NONE ELSEWHERE
THE ORIGINAL GREY CARD INNER SLEEVE IS IN MAGNIFICENT ORIGINAL CONDITION. NO SPLITS, VERY RICH IN COLOUR AND UNCREASED, NO WRINKLES AND TOTALLY UNSPLIT
I ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
